Default Removing Cover

Whereas all my other pcs had screws holding on the cover, my dell computer
has rivets.

I have a dvd r/w that I want to install. How do i get the cover off without
damaging anything?

Thanks,

tharpa

Need to know what model, but you're probably looking at the wrong end.

Lift the front of the PC, and grab the underneath of the plastic trim for
the front panel. Pull the trim forward and off, and you'll quite possibly
find the screws there.

Whatever model and number Dell it is, you're looking at the wrong side.
